Ted was bored in class, as he often was, staring out the window to his right and daydreaming about the beautiful spring day outside. History of Magic was always his class for daydreaming, rife with homesickness for summer and the green hills of Limerick, where he could spend the whole day outside without any stuffy lectures from beyond the grave to worry about.

He sighed softly, chin propped up on his palm as he stared out the window, entirely oblivious not only to Binn's lecture, but also everything else that was going on in the classroom around him.

	"Does a lady need to go plunging into the lake?" Ted asked, laughing. "Really?" He took a small step towards the sand ledge, as if meaning to let her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She shook her head quickly, her heart racing. "No! No, I-- no, I can't do that! I can't swim!" Andromeda insisted, giggling loudly and insisting on not moving backwards. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"The mermaids would save you!" Ted replied, laughing still as he stepped towards it again. "You're one of them, Dromeda. Accept your inner mermaid." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	In a slight panic, she wrapped her arms around his neck so that she wouldn't go down the ledge. Or if she did, he would too. "How do you know?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You're pretty just like 'em," Ted shrugged easily. He grinned, arms tightening securely around her waist. "Ready, Dromeda?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Andromeda tightened her arms around him and squealed. "No!!" she complained in a high-pitched voice. "You won't! I'm too much of a lady." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hufflepuffed 2009-02-19 06:15 am UTC (link)
	"Really?" Ted asked, teasing. "You want to? I keep hearing you say 'yes Ted let's go in the water please'! Okay, Dromeda, anything for you." One more step forward, putting them on the precipice of the sandshelf. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"EeeeeTed I can't do that! I don't know how, Ted! I can't and it's slippery and wet! Slippery when wet, Ted!" Andromeda held onto him tighter, her face going into his neck. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ted's lips automatically found her ear. "You'll be fine. I've got you," he murmured there, a laugh low in his voice, just before stepping off the edge and into the deeper water. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Andromeda squealed as she was pulled underwater, pulling him closer in the cold water. She giggled uncontrollably, though, when she got used to the cold. "You didn't, you jerk!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hufflepuffed 2009-02-19 06:34 am UTC (link)
	"You're very welcome, Dromeda," Ted said grandly, as if she'd just thanked him for pushing her into the water. "I do live to serve and all that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whiteblack 2009-02-19 06:40 am UTC (link)
	Andromeda didn't let go of him still, so close to him as she shivered in the water. "That's so good of you," she teased, a little hushed. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hufflepuffed 2009-02-19 06:47 am UTC (link)
	He smiled as he dipped his head next to hers, feeling her shiver. "You're all wet, Dromeda, I'm sorry." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whiteblack 2009-02-19 06:51 am UTC (link)
	Andromeda shook her head. "It's-- it's okay, just cold," she complained, shivering against him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hufflepuffed 2009-02-19 06:52 am UTC (link)
	Ted gave her a little careful squeeze. "It'll warm up, give a second. Sorry I ruined your school skirt. It'll dry fine, probably." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whiteblack 2009-02-19 07:01 am UTC (link)
	Andromeda shook her head and pulled him closer. "It's okay! There are always drying spells," she said, grinning. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hufflepuffed 2009-02-19 07:03 am UTC (link)
	"Oh look at you," Ted laughed quietly, softer now that they were so close. "Pretty and practical." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whiteblack 2009-02-19 07:06 am UTC (link)
	She blushed, looking down at his shirt as she grinned. "I can do that sometimes," Andromeda murmured. "And I bet I can get the Squid smell out of it, too." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hufflepuffed 2009-02-19 07:10 am UTC (link)
	"Shhhh," Ted hushed her, putting a finger over her lips dramatically. "You'll offend it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whiteblack 2009-02-19 07:13 am UTC (link)
	Andromeda laughed, trying to keep hushed against his finger. She pulled herself a little bit closer to him, smiling against his finger. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hufflepuffed 2009-02-19 07:18 am UTC (link)
	"Shhhhh," Ted insisted, laughing as he ducked his head closer and hushed his voice. "Merlin, Andromeda, everybody's going to hear you laughing at the poor Squid." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whiteblack 2009-02-19 07:20 am UTC (link)
	She giggled quietly against his finger. "We can't have that, can we?" Andromeda whispered, grinning as she noticed how close he was. It excited her, when boys showed interest in her and not her sisters. Something about it made her feel special. Typically, boys went for her sisters or just stayed away.

	Carefully, as if he was still unsure about trusting her, Ted moved his finger away from her mouth. "Glad you understand," he said, nodding slightly, but far too focused on her to really move much. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whiteblack 2009-02-19 07:27 am UTC (link)
	Slowly, Andromeda moved forward, every intention of kissing him, but just before she closed her eyes, before their lips met, her foot slipped off the ledge and down another step, slipping down underwater, making everything about her wet. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hufflepuffed 2009-02-19 07:31 am UTC (link)
	Ted actually let out a noise of frustrated disbelief. Way to go, Universe. Just when Andromeda Black (prettiest girl he'll never have) looks like she's about to kiss him, THEY FALL INTO THE LAKE. Typical. So typical. Still, he reached out for her again, to stabilize her and make sure she's alright. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
